Gushed a little bit when I popped the cap. Lots of foam/head when pouring the bottle. This one seems to be a bit overcarbonated. Aroma smells just fine though. Roasted malt with some coffee and chocolate. Flavor is dry. Body is medium but ridiculously effervescent. The beer actually foams quite a bit when it hits my tongue and gives a bit of carbonation sting... way too much carbonation for a porter. Makes it hard to taste the actual beer. Doesn’t have any off-flavors or aromas though. I’ll have to try this one again sometime.

Sep 26, 2008 Bomber poured a clear dark brown with a small lasting brown head. Aromas of dark chocolate, coffee, roastiness and light vanilla. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of coffee, bitter chocolate, roasted malt and a hint of vanilla with a smooth roasty finish.

Sep 17, 2008 On tap. Aroma and flavor of roasted malt and bitter coffee. Some sweetness in the mix. Pretty solid porter.

Sep 4, 2008 Most impressive Marin, even more so than White Knuckle. Had this on tap at Hotel Monaco in SF and out of a bottle from Whole Foods Pasadena, CA. Pours a dark rootbeer brown, big puffy head at first that completely subsides. Aromas of roasted coffee, and flavors of coffee, spice and a tad bit of chocolate. Rich but not too thick, highly highly drinkable.
